Jason Mittell
I would recommend this class to anyone who is interested in film or who needs to cover a regional distribution. I rarely ever worked more than two hours on homework. His grading system can be confusing but is forgiving if you miss some assignments or classes. As long as you take notes and submit five of the short assignments per week, writing the mini essays is pretty easy and fun, and getting an A is not that hard. Really nice professor!

Jason is a really understanding and enthusiastic professor. His grading is different from other courses in that it is largely participating in discussions each week, and the essays are all graded to either satisfactory or unsatisfactory. If you're interested even in the slightest with the TV industry, this would be a great class.
Good class for learning about American TV history. There are about 4/5 discussion posts every week, with an essay due about every other week. Work balances out as there are no tests, still annoying to write on Saturday nights.
